Unit of Chemical and Radiopharmaceutical Sciences
The Unit of Chemical and Radiopharmaceutical Sciences (UCRS) owes its strength to its versatile capability of synthesis and characterization of compounds and on the development and application of nuclear and related methods as well on a significant number of analytical and physico-chemical techniques. These capabilities have allowed to proceed and reinforce research work on materials science, health, environmental chemistry and cultural heritage.
1. Research Activity Groups
The Unit of Chemical and Radiopharmaceutical Sciences comprises the following research groups:
- 1.1. Radiopharmaceutical Sciences
Design, synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of new radioactive compounds interesting for imaging and/or therapy, namely metal (Tc, Re,Ln) and halogen based drugs. - 1.2. Solid State
